Back by popular demand, we are bringing you painting on the farm!! During this class you get to snuggle goats and sheep, plus paint an awesome farm related painting. We are partnering with Kyndall Owens of Kreativityyy LLC. She will have predrawn canvases of farm animals, great for beginners. If you have more experience painting you can always free paint over the drawings, or add your own creative touch in other ways!

Program Itinerary:

Welcome and sign-in
Intensive goat snuggles and techniques for scratching, petting, and massaging our four legged friends (can be applied to dogs and cats too!)
Come out and wash hands for some painting.
More time with the goats and the option to spend time with the horses
Hand-washing and Time for purchasing farm products if desired

Each session will include lots of goat cuddles and possible shenanigans to make you laugh, as well as a chance to spend time with our horses. This is a great way to help you release stress, do something good for your mind and soul, learn ways to connect more with animals, tune in to your creative side, and just have time to be you.

What to wear/bring: Plan to wear clothing and shoes that can get a little dirty (closed toed shoes preferred). Bring a LARGE TOWEL or blanket (we will have some for rent for $2 if you forget yours). No earrings in ear lobes or necklaces please, and you will want a hair tie for longer hair.

Ages: Recommended ages 6 and up (All minors must be accompanied by an adult for sign in), but younger children are still welcome, please email us to discuss

These classes lend themselves to relaxing, calm time, so all participants will need to be aware of and open to this.

Cost: $55 per participant

About the animals: Goat snuggle area: We have 23 Nigerian dwarf goats. All are trained to cuddle. There are also two sheep who have spent their whole lives with the goats and cuddling people. Horses: We have one Halflinger (super social) and one miniature horse (sweet but a little shy)

We will no longer be doing feeding before class, but you are still welcome to bring treats for the goats that our staff will give them at regular feeding times. We are also happy to take your old food you are ready to throw out to give to our pigs Miss Charlotte and Piper throughout the week (dairy, cooked meat, veggies, and fruits)

Limited spots so register early!
